Do you vape? If so, how is that working for you? Controversy about electronic cigarettes is blazing an electronic trail across the internet. ‘They are safe. E-cigarettes are not safe. They are expensive. Electronic cigarettes cost less than real cigarettes.

If you’re not familiar with vaping e-cigarettes or even if you are, you owe it to yourself to learn the truth about this trending, quit smoking device.

What are Components of e-cigarettes?

The first and perhaps worst is propylene glycol, a solvent contained in anti-freeze! Of course, there is nicotine and various flavors like bubble gum, cherry, menthol and coffee. For those who smoked tobacco, there is an authentic tobacco flavor. Also, vegetable glycerin and water are contained.

The device looks like its tobacco equivalent. E-liquid comprised of the above components is inserted into a cartomizer (cartridge).

Believe it or not, the FDA considers these components GRAS or Generally Recognized As Safe for human consumption!

Make-a-Note: smokeless cigarettes do not contain tar or carbon dioxide.

How do Electronic Cigarettes Simulate Smoking?

A battery-operated heating element heats e-liquid to a vapor stage, which is inhaled and in the process, a cloud of vapor is exhaled. It looks a lot like smoke. A cute LED lights-up the tip of the e-cig to mimic fire of a tobacco cigarette.

Make-a-Note: Per 10 puffs, 1 mg of nicotine is absorbed from real cigarettes; 0.1 mg nicotine is absorbed by vaping.

Why Vape?

Make-a-Note: Vaping bars are trending, particularly in California!

What Do Authorities Say?

While the Food and Drug Administration is authorized to regulate electronic cigarettes they have failed to take action. In 2010, the FDA did issue a warning letter to distributors to cease uncorroborated claims they were using as marketing strategies.

The American Lung Association is concerned about kid-friendly flavorings such as bubble gum, cherry and chocolate. Also distributors imply health benefits, which is in reality a marketing tactic to entice smokers to change to their products.

American Cancer Society cautions that inhaling anything except pure air is risky. However, they are cautiously optimistic that e-smokes might prove less harmful than tobacco products.
